You can make a simple and delicious dessert at home. And it will not take as long as some housewives think. A house made of cookies with cottage cheese filling will be a great start to the day or a full-fledged afternoon snack for the baby and you. So, let's try to understand the ingredients and the method of preparing a sweet dish.

Dessert description

A house made of cookies and cottage cheese (see main photo) is prepared in the form of a kind of roll. Baking is not used, as well as any other heat treatment of the components or the whole dish. Imagine a square or triangular biscuit roll, inside which is a filling of cottage cheese and fruit. On top, the dessert is decorated with powdered sugar, white or brown chocolate icing. Served slightly chilled and cut into portions in the form of small squares or triangles. It turns out a fragment with cottage cheese and fruit, framed by cookies.

Which cookie to take?

Cookies for dessert will suit absolutely anyone:

• store orhomemade;
• sand or biscuit;
• with or without additives;
• chocolate or oatmeal.

Even if your cookie is pretty dry and looks bad, use it to make a cookie house. Together with cottage cheese and icing, it will become softer and soaked in sweetness - you get an amazing dessert.

Since our recipe does not require baking, take the cookies of the shape that you need for the house. That is, a square or rectangular one will do.

Curd filling

Curd filling is the basis of this dessert. It keeps its shape, because the no-bake cookie house is being prepared. Therefore, it is better to take cottage cheese of medium density.

If you come across a liquidish product, mix in a little cookie crumbs (pieces ground in a blender) - 100 g of crumbs will be enough for 500 g of cottage cheese. Or hang in clean gauze for a couple of hours to drain excess liquid.

And if, on the contrary, the cottage cheese is too dry and grainy, use fat sour cream or whipped cream. With the last component, the filling for the dish will turn out to be airy and lush. Mix whipped cream with powdered sugar with cottage cheese rubbed through a fine iron sieve. Select the ratio of ingredients according to the consistency of the mass - arbitrarily.

Another option for dry cottage cheese is soft butter with a high fat content - 82%.

Flavor inclusions can also be added to the curd filling (see "Additional Products" below).

Fruit "core"

The most common filling is a fresh banana. It does not need to be prepared for a long time - it saves time. Add the following toppings to your dessert according to your taste and possibilities:

• grated apple with citrus juice (a few drops so that the fruit does not darken);
• sliced fruit with boiled washed rice and honey - original version;
• canned peaches - without syrup, they are soft and will cut well in the finished cookie house.

The filling can be without fruit at all - only cottage cheese with sugar.

Recipe

What products will we take:

• soft cottage cheese - 400 g;
• fat sour cream - 2 tbsp. l.;
• powdered sugar - 4-5 tbsp. l.;
• vanillin - a pinch;
• shortbread cookies - 9 or 12 pcs

The finished house can be triangular, then you need 9 cookies, or square - take 12 pieces for it. In our recipe, the house will be a triangle.

The cookie house recipe implies the following procedure:

1. Start by whipping sour cream with powdered sugar and vanilla. Arm yourself with a hand whisk or an electric mixer.
2. Mix the mass with curd.
3. Lay out food foil or film on the table. Lay the cookies next to each other on it to form a square grid of nine 3x3 cookies.
4. Carefully put the curd on them so as not to break the structure.
5. Take the edge of the foil and lift up. It turns out, two side rowscookies rise up and connect, forming a triangular building. Loose curd layer inside.
6. Cover with foil so that the whole dessert is in it.

Next, the cookie house should be kept in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. And then free from packaging and, if desired, pour over with a trickle or cover with a dense layer of glaze (see "Glaze Options" below).

After covering the dessert with icing, put it back in the refrigerator so that it freezes. Then cut into pieces that look like houses. From the sides on the curd part, you can draw small patterns with chocolate or insert a slice of milk chocolate as a window.

This is an easy cooking option. Well, experienced craftsmen are able to create a real magic house of cookies (the photo below demonstrates it). Why not strive for such perfection?

Specially shaped cookies are baked for this piece of art. And a house is already assembled from ready-made ones. The parts are glued together with thick glaze or sugar caramel (it is boiled with a small piece of butter).

Additional products

As additional components, you can use inclusions in the curd mass or fruit "core". It could be:

• ground nuts (any: peanuts, walnuts, almonds, pecans, cashews), walnuts and almonds will have to remove the bitter skin in advance;
• sliced or mashed dried fruit;
• pieces of fresh or canned fruit;
• fresh berries or jam;
• jam;
• grated chocolate - milk, white or dark bitter;
• pre-cooked soufflé;
• poppy;
• confectionery topping;
• coconut flakes - fresh or dried.

For flavoring add one of these:

• fresh citrus zest or juice;
• a drop of alcohol - cognac, rum, liquor, white table wine;
• vanillin - in powder, extract or seeds from a natural pod.

With literally two or three additional ingredients from the list, you can make your own dessert "Cookie House" not only tasty, but also an author's sweet dish.

Some of these ingredients can be added to dessert icing.
